Extremely inspiring book for creative leaders

Revisado: 10-27-15

I manage a creative team within a large cooperation and this book provided excellent guidance on how to create effective creative teams. Catmull creates an interesting story and clearly ties in excellent advice that is easy to remember and to follow. I will be ordering a hard copy of this book to reference for years to come.

More like "Living the Randall Wallace life"

Revisado: 10-27-15

What did you like best about Living the Braveheart Life? What did you like least?

I really enjoyed the end section where the author talked about how much living the Braveheart life involves being a disciple of Christ. I've always felt like Braveheart made me a better Christain and so that was a nice connection. What I disliked was that the book focused way, way more on Mr. Wallaces life and the Breaveheart tie-ins seemed forced. I think I'm not alone when I strongly believe that Braveheart is a life changing film. I hoped this book would outline a process to better apply that life changing power that has been a great strength in my life. Instead I found a moral code that Wallace follows based on the experiences he has had. I respect Wallace deeply and think he is a great man, but this book came across as self promoting and it seemed like an effort to make another buck off the success of Braveheart. I don't believe that was the intention because of the sincerity I felt at the end of the book but the complaint that everyone attributes the words from Braveheart to William instead of Randall seemed full of bitterness.

Would you ever listen to anything by Randall Wallace again?

Maybe. He's written some incredible movies and the writing in this book was very good. I was just disappointed with the content.

Which character – as performed by Matt Baugher – was your favorite?

NA

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

NA - But definitely go see Braveheart. Best film ever.

Any additional comments?

I came away from this book believing even more strongly that Braveheart was an inspired work. While Wallace obviously had to be prepared for that inspiration, his personal moral code is not the moral code I found in the film Braveheart.
